Damn, I used to be a smoker. Well, better luck next time for me.

Yup, she gets arrested even if she doesn't wear the hijab properly. But after she'll spend some days in custody and pays the fee, she'll be let go free. Still, I think it goes in her dossier and it might later be the reason why she won't get a job in some institution. Hoori can explain better :D

Any idea of another way to help those who are forced to wear it?

If you put it that way, every country that forbids me to walk around completely naked is not democratic and is no different than a country that forces me to wear a burqa, or a hijab as it's the case with Iran.

Finally a woman's perspective. This thread was like a bunch of girls talking how painful it is to be kicked in the balls.

One of the versions I heard was that the Turks didn't even come close to the girls with a cross on their forehead, so there was no danger the girl to be abducted by some Turkish bey. At least that's what my grandmother was telling me. Later I found out that the reasons for that tattoo were...

Exactly One of my grandmas that comes from southern Balkans wore it too. She also had a cross tattooed between the eyebrows :D Like this woman: I loved my grandma. Her cross was tattooed to protect her from the Turks, even though the Turks left 4 years before she was born :lol: She was...

Of course you don't when both your grandmothers wear/wore it :D

Snoopson, can you at least take a pic of yourself wearing a burqa? Or are your eyes ugly too?

Yup

Si fueris Romae, Romano vivito more...No-one's arguing that. We're simply talking if it's the right thing to do and we're trying to see the motives (which for Deneb here are obvious) behind this law.

The political motives aside, do you think this is the same as the military law in France, which allows military personnel to grow a beard or moustache only during periods when they are out of uniform or the U.S Army law which strictly bans beards?

You're seriously asking ME this? :lol:

It makes sense if not hearing the curses is the reason why they're not letting you enter the stadiums. As non-Iranians, those women won't even understand the bad words, so no need to keep them out of the stadium :D

They weren't Iranian, I guess. Some 10 years ago or so one Croatian female reporter was on the pitch in Tehran after the match, interviewing one Croatian player. She was allowed there and she was wearing a hijab too. I remembered that episode and it was the first thing I asked Hoori back when I...

:D Fuck the French and their silly laws. Now I can't pretend to be a mother picking up her kids from elementary school. And I already arranged everything for little Ahmed's organs.

It's officially banned in France.

I said the same once and I was, perhaps rightfully, attacked by Fred and Ze for talking out of my ass. I indeed couldn't prove something like that. But you did live in a Muslim society and I guess that what you say is more than just an opinion, right?

Can I pick both? :D

Hoori was always honest about her opinion and feelings back from the days when she was religious, which are almost 100% different than her opinion and feelings right now. I think hindsight won't play any part in what she'll say. Actually, I believe that her opinion from back then wasn't...
